It is consummately edited and contains a wide variety of works divided according to genre; each poem is introduced within the main body of the text and additional critical analysis is given in a large notes section at the end. The poems are presented in a parallel text format and non-interpretive translations provide the reader with as literal a version of the original as possible. This is a fascinating collection that is particularly notable for being made up of poems which were previously unpublished in Western Europe.Preface; Part I. Heroic Poetry: 1. Historic ballads; 2. Choral songs; Part II. Romantic Poetry: 1. Idylls and love-songs; 2. Dancing songs; 3. Miscellaneous; 4. Distichs; Notes; Index.
